Setting jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application
by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric
switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect
them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To
“open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would
connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper sesttings are schematically depicted in this manuaal
as follows:
Open
Closed
Closed 2-3
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
12
CPU installation and upgrading
You can upgrade to a higher power Pentium processor at any
time. Simply remove the old CPU, install the new one, and set the
jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.
Warning!
Caution!
Always disconnect the power cord from your
chassis when you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on as
sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the PC board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap
at all times. Place all electronic components
on a static-dissipative surface or in a staticshielded bag when they are not in the chassis.
Install a CPU in the ZIF socket
SBC-599 Series provides a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket
for easy CPU installation.
1. Make sure the ZIF socket lever is in the upright position. To
raise the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far
as it will go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions
that came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, do the
following: Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the socket
and the notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with the
notch on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It
should insert easily. If it doesn’t, pull the lever up a little more.
13
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in
the socket. This is normal and won‘t damage the CPU.
When the CPU is installed, the lever should snap into place at
the side of the socket.
NOTE:
To remove a CPU, pull the lever out to the side a
little and raise it as far as it will go. Lift out the
CPU chip.
When you install a new CPU, be sure to adjust the board
settings, such as CPU type and CPU clock. Improper settings
may damage the CPU.
Voltage Select (J1, J2, J3, and J4)
J1, J2, J3, and J4 must be set to match the CPU type. The chart
below shows the proper jumper settings for their respective V cc
(core). (The Vcc (I/O) for CPU is fixed to be 3.3V).

data bus. Since 72-pin SIMM can only provide 32
bit data bus width, two SIMM modules are required
as one memory bank, and both SIMMs must be
the same size and type.
1. Ensure that all power sources are disconnected.
2. Slip the memory module into the socket at a 45 degree
angle.
3. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the
socket until the module is upright and the retaining clips at
both ends of the module click into place. When positioned
correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should
correspond to the circular holes on the ends of the module.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each module you install.
NOTE 2: Do not insert any SIMM module that contains
more than 24 memory chips. SIMMs contain
more than 24 chips exceed the driving capability
of new generation chipsets.

Front panel connectors
(CN1,CN2,CN3,CN4)
You may want to install external switches to monitor and control
the SBC-596/599. These features are optional —install them
only if you need them. The front panel connectors include a
speaker connector (CN1), a HDD LED connector (CN2), an
input switch (CN3) for resetting the card, and a keyboard lock
connector (CN4).
Speaker connector (CN1)
The SBC-596/599 can drive an 8 W speaker at 0.5 watts. Ensure
that alternatives to this specification do not overload the card.
Close pins 3 and 4 to enable the buzzer.
HDD LED connector (CN2)
The LED indicator for hard disk access is an active low signal (24
mA sink rate).
Reset switch (CN3)
If you install a reset switch, it should be an open single pole
switch. Momentarily pressing the switch will activate a reset. The
switch should be rated for 10 mA, 5 V.
Power LED/keyboard lock connector (CN4)
You can connect an LED to indicate if the CPU card is powered
on. Pin 1 of CN4 supplies power to the LED, and pin 3 is the
ground.
You can use a switch (or a lock) to disable the keyboard. In this
state, the PC will not respond to any input from the keyboard.
This is useful if you don’t want anyone to change or stop a
running program. Simply connect the switch between pin 4 and
pin 5 of CN4.
If you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assignments for the board’s connector in Appendix B.
20
Fan power supply connector (CN5)
CN5 provides power supply to optional CPU cooling fan. Only
present when +12 V power is supplied to the board.
SCSI connectors (CN6, CN7)
(SBC-599 only)
The SBC-599 has a 50-pin, dual-in-line connector for Ultra
SCSI devices and a 68-pin, dual-in-line connector for Ultra
Wide SCSI devices. Connection of SCSI devices requires
special attention, especially when determining the last drive on
the SCSI chain. Refer to Chapter 6 and your device’s operating
manual for detailed installation advice.
IDE hard drive connector (CN8, CN9)
You can attach up to four Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives to the SBC-596/599 internal controller. The
SBC-596/599 IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface.
This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer and
allows the IDE hard drive to exceed 528 MB.
CN8 is the primary IDE connector, CN9 is the secondary IDE
connector. Each connector supports up to two EIDE hard disk
drives.
Connecting the hard drive
The way to connecting drives to primary IDE connector or
secondary IDE connector is same.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are
gray.
21
1. Connect one end of the cable to CN8/CN9. Make sure that the
red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.
2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard
drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the
hard drive. (See your hard drive’s documentation for the
location of the connector.)
Connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of
the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the
master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If
you install just one drive, set it as the master.
Floppy connector (CN10)
You can attach up to two floppy drives to the SBC-599 Series onboard controller. You can use any combination of 5¼” (360 KB
and 1.2 MB) and/or 3½” (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives.
A 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable is required for a dualdrive system. On one end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable
connector. On the other end are two sets of floppy disk drive
connectors. Each set consists of a 34-pin flat-cable connector
(usually used for 3½” drives) and a printed-circuit board connector (usually used for 5¼” drives).
22
Connecting the floppy drive
1. Plug the 34-pin flat-cable connector into CN10. Make sure that
the red wire corresponds to pin one on the connector.
2. Attach the appropriate connector on the other end of the
cable to the floppy drive(s). You can use only one connector
in the set. The set on the end (after the twist in the cable)
connects to the A: drive. The set in the middle connects to the
B: drive.
3. If you are connecting a 5¼” floppy drive, line up the slot in
the printed circuit board with the blocked-off part of the cable
connector.
If you are connecting a 3½” floppy drive, you may have
trouble determining which pin is pin number one. Look for a
number printed on the circuit board indicating pin number
one. In addition, the connector on the floppy drive connector
may have a slot. When the slot is up, pin number one should
be on the right. Check the documentation that came with the
drive for more information.
If you desire, connect the B: drive to the connectors in the
middle of the cable as described above.
If you need to make your own cable, you can find the pin assignments for the board’s connector in Appendix B.
23
VGA interface connections (SBC-599 only)
The SBC-599 PCI SVGA interface can drive conventional CRT
displays and is capable of driving a wide range of flat panel
displays, including electroluminescent (EL), gas plasma, passive
LCD and active LCD displays. The board has two connectors to
support these displays, one for standard CRT VGA monitors and
one for flat panel displays.
CRT connector (CN16)
CN16 is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for
VGA.
Pin assignments for CRT connector CN16 are detailed in Appendix
B.
Flat panel connector (CN11)
CN11 consists of a 44-pin, dual-in-line header.
The SBC-599 provides a bias control signal on CN11 that can be
used to control the LCD bias voltage. It is recommended that the
LCD bias voltage not be applied to the panel until the logic supply
voltage (+5V or +3.3V) and panel video signals are stable. Under
normal operation, the control signal (ENAVEE) is active high. When
the SBC-599 power is applied, the control signal is low until just
after the relevant flat panel signals are present.
LCD power select (J12)
The SBC-599 PCI SVGA interface supports 5V and 3.3V LCD
displays. By changing the setting of J12, you can select the panel
video signal level to be 5V or 3.3V.

Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer.
The SBC-596/599 includes a multi-mode (ECP/EPP/SPP)
parallel port, accessed through CN14, a 26-pin flat-cable
connector. You will need an adapter cable if you use a traditional
DB-25 connector. The adapter cable has a 26-pin connector on
one end and a DB-25 connector on the other.
The parallel port is designated as LPT1 and can be disabled or
changed to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.
The parallel port interrupt channel is designated to be IRQ7.
You can select ECP/EPP DMA channel via BIOS setup.
IR connector (CN15)
This connector supports the optional wireless infrared transmitting and receiving module. This module mounts on the system
case. You must configure the setting through BIOS setup.
26
USB connectors (CN18, CN20)
The SBC-596/599 provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus)
interfaces which gives complete plug and play, hot attach/detach
for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces comply with
USB specification rev. 1.0 and are fuse protected.
The USB interfaces are accessed through two 5-pin flat-cable
connectors, CN18 and CN20. You will need an adapter cable if you
use a standard USB connector. The adapter cable has a 5-pin
connector on one end and an USB connector on the other.
The USB interfaces can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.
Ethernet connector (UTP1, SBC-599 only)
The SBC-599 is equipped with a high performance 16-bit PCI-bus
Ethernet interface which is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3
10Mbps CSMA/CD standards. It is supported by all major network
operating systems and is 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible. On
board RJ-45 jack provides convenient 10 Base-T RJ-45 operation.
The medium type can be configured via the RSET8029.EXE program
included on the utility disk. (See Chapter 3 for detailed information.)
27
Watchdog timer configurationon
An on-board watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions
which EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is
an invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned
applications. Setup involves one jumper and running the control
software (refer to Appendix A).
Watchdog select (J14)
When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing has come to a
halt), it can reset the system or generate an interrupt on IRQ11.
This can be set via setting J14 as shown below:

Introduction
The SBC-596/599 system BIOS and custom drivers are located in a
128 Kbyte, 32-pin (JEDEC spec.) Flash ROM device. A single
Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and network Boot
ROM image. The display can be configured via software. This
method minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration.
You can change the display BIOS simply by reprogramming the
Flash chip.
Utility with IDE Bus Master Driver
The SBC-596/599 is supplied with a software utility with IDE Bus
Master driver which provides better system performance. The
IDE Bus Master driver supports OS/2, Windows 95 and Windows
NT O.S.

VGA display software configuration
(SBC-599 only)
The SBC-599 on-board VGA interface supports a wide range of
popular LCD, EL, gas plasma flat panel displays and traditional
analog CRT monitors. With on-board 1M display memory, the
interface can drive CRT displays with resolutions up to 1024 x
768 in 256 colors. It is also capable of extending up to 2 MB of
display memory to provide resolutions of 1024 x 768 in 64K
colors.
The VGA interface is configured completely via the software
utility, so you don’t have to set any jumpers. Configure the VGA
display as follows:
1. Apply power to the SBC-599 with a color TFT display
attached. This is the default setting for the SBC-599. Ensure
that the AWDFLASH.EXE and *.BIN files are located in the
working drive.
NOTE:
ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT RUN
AWDFLASH.EXE WHILE YOUR SYSTEM IS
OPERATING IN EMM386 MODE.
2. At the prompt, type AWDFLASH.EXE and press <Enter>.
3. At the prompt, enter the new BIN file that supports your
display. When you are sure that you have entered the file
name correctly, press <Enter>.
4. The screen will ask “Do you want to save BIOS?” Press Y if
you wish to save the existing configuration before changing
it. Then type the name under which you want to save the
current configuration.
5. The prompt will then ask “Are you sure to program?” Press Y
if you want the new file to be written into the BIOS. Press N to
exit the program.
The new VGA configuration will then write to the ROM BIOS
chip. This configuration will remain the same until you run the
AWDFLASH.EXE program and change the settings.

Award BIOS Setup
This chapter describes how to set
BIOS configuration data.
Chapter 4 Award BIOS Setup
39
System test and initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages
usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the
bootup sequence.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the
values stored in the board’s CMOS memory. If they don’t match,
the program outputs an error message. You will then need to run
the BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in
memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the
CMOS settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.
The SBC-596/599 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery
backup. The battery backup should last ten years in normal
service, but when it finally runs down, you will need to replace
the complete unit.
40
AWARD BIOS setup
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows
users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of
information is stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it
retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.

chapter provides instructions for
installing and operating the software
drivers on the included Supporting
CD-ROM.
Chapter 5 PCI SVGA Setup (SBC-599 only)
51
Before you begin
To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display device drivers
and utility software, you should read the instructions in this
chapter carefully before you attempt installation. The enhanced
display drivers for the SBC-599 board are located on the software
installation diskette. You must install the drivers and utility
software by using the supplied SETUP program for DOS drivers
NOTE:
THE FILES ON THE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
DISKETTE ARE COMPRESSED. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS BY COPYING THE
FILES MANUALLY. YOU MUST USE THE SUPPLIED
SETUP PROGRAM TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS.
Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers
need to have the relevant software application already installed in
the system prior to installing the enhanced display drivers. In
addition, many of the installation procedures assume that you are
familiar with both the relevant software applications and operating
system commands. Review the relevant operating system commands and the pertinent sections of your application software’s
user’s manual before performing the installation.
52
Installation
The drivers include Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT
drivers, and OS/2 drivers.
Simultaneous display mode
The 65550 VGA BIOS supports monochrome LCD, EL, color TFT
and STN LCD flat panel displays. It also supports interlaced and
non-interlaced analog monitors (VGA color and VGA monochrome)
in high-resolution modes while maintaining complete IBM VGA
compatibility. Digital monitors (i.e. MDA, CGA, and EGA) are NOT
supported. Multiple frequency (multisync) monitors are supported
as analog monitors.
Both CRT and panel displays can be used simultaneously. The
SBC-599 can be set in one of three configurations: on a CRT,
on a flat panel display, or on both simultaneously. The system is
initially set to simultaneous display mode. In the utility diskette,
there are three .COM files that can be used to select the display.
Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:
CT.COM Enables CRT display only
FP.COM Enables panel display only
SM.COM Enables both displays at the same time.
53
Sleep mode
The display driver contains two files that support sleep mode.
Simply type the filename at the DOS prompt:
ON.COM switches to normal display mode.
OFF.COM switches to sleep mode.
Driver installation
Necessary prerequisites
The instructions in this manual assume that you understand
elementary concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer.
Before you attempt to install any driver or utility you should: know
how to copy files from Supporting CD-ROM to a directory on the
hard disk, understand the MS-DOS directory structure. If you are
uncertain about any of these concepts, please refer to the DOS or
Windows user reference guides for more information before you
proceed with the installation.
54
Before you begin
The display driver contains drivers for several versions of certain
applications. You must install the correct version in order for the
driver to work properly so make sure you know which version of
the application you have.
Windows setup
These drivers are designed to work with Microsoft Windows 3.1.
You may install these drivers through Windows or in DOS.
Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA
display. Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly.
Step 2: Place the Supporting CD-ROM in CD-ROM drive. In
Windows Program Manager, choose File from the Options Menu.
Then from the pull-down menu, choose Run . . . . At the command
line prompt, choose CD-ROM drive:\CD ROM\"model name"
\driver\vga driver\win\win31\setup.exe. Press the <ENTER> key
or click OK to begin the installation. At this point, the setup
program locates the directory where Windows is installed. For
proper operation, the drivers must be installed in the Windows
subdirectory. Press <ENTER> to complete the installation. Once
completed, the Display Driver Control Panel appears on the
screen. This Control Panel allows you to select and load the
installed drivers.

the display is switched to CRT only display mode.
5. Close the System-Settings notebook.
6. Perform a shutdown and restart for the changes to take effect.
61
Installation Notes
1. During the installation of this driver, DISPLAY.LOG and
DSPINSTL.LOG files are created in \OS2\INSTALL directory.
These files identify the OS/2 system files that were updated,
and indicate whether the installation was successful. The
DISPLAY.LOG file also contains a string that identifies the
version of driver that was installed. This information may be
important when reporting an installation problem.
2. During installation, DSPINSTL will invoke the SVGA Configuration program SVGA.EXE to determine the hardware configuration, and create the file \OS2\INSTALL\SVGADATA.PMI. If
this file is not created, the adapter will not be supported.
When this step is done, the display will be blanked, and you
may see a series of flashes on the display and/or what appears
to be a “corrupted” display. This is normal, as the configuration process is doing Video BIOS mode sets to determine
which screen resolutions BIOS supports. This configuration
information is then used to provide the System-Settings
Resolution and Refresh selections.

CHAPTER
6
SCSI Setup and
Configurations
(SBC-599 only)
The SBC-599 is equipped with two
SCSI interfaces. This chapter provides
basic SCSI concepts and instructions
for installing the software drivers with
the included SCSI driver diskettes. At
the end of this chapter provides the
SCSI device troubleshooting tips.
Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations
63
Installation and Setup
The SBC-599 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra Wide
PCI-to-Ultra SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful
multitasking interface between your computer’s PCI bus and
SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape
backups, removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI
devices can be connected to the internal or external SCSI
connector on AIC-7880.
If you need to configure the SCSI, the onboard SCSI Select
configuration utility allows you to change host adapter settings
without opening the computer or handling the board. The SCSI
Select utility also contains a utility to low-level format and
verifies the disk media on your hard disk drives.
SCSI Configuration Guidelines
Before installing your SCSI devices, you should understand the
basic SCSI concepts described in this section. The information
will help you set up your host adapter and devices so they
function properly.
SCSI ID Numbers
Each device attached to the host adapter, as well as the host
adapter itself, must have a unique SCSI ID number (0-15). The
SCSI ID serves two purposes:
- It uniquely defines each SCSI device on the SCSI bus.
- It determines the device’s priority on the SCSI bus.
SCSI ID7 has the highest priority. The priority of the remaining
IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0 and 15 to 8.
Note: SCSI IDs play no role in determining the order in which
devices are cabled to the host adapter.
64
The AIC-7880 supports the SCSI Configured AutoMatically
(SCAM) protocol, which assigns SCSI IDs dynamically and
resolves SCSI ID conflicts automatically at bootup. If your
system includes SCSI disk drives or other devices that support
SCAM, you do not need to manually assign SCSI IDs to these
devices.
Most SCSI devices currently in use, however, do not support
SCAM. The SCSI IDs on these devices must be set manually. To
change the SCSI IDs on these devices, refer to the device’s
documentation.
If you install more than one SCSI host adapter in the computer,
each adapter forms a separate SCSI bus. SCSI IDs can be reused
as long as the ID is assigned to a device on a separate SCSI bus
(e.g., each SCSI bus can have a device with SCSI ID 0).
SCSI Terminators
To ensure reliable communication, the SCSI bus must be properly
terminated. Termination is controlled by a set of electrical
resistors, called terminators. Terminators must be placed (or
enabled) at the two extreme ends of the SCSI bus. All devices
that lie between the ends must have their terminators removed (or
disabled).
Termination on the Ultra Wide SCSI itself is controlled by
software commands via the SCSISelect utility. The default setting
is set to Automatic. When set to Automatic, if the AIC-7880
detacts that SCSI cables are connected to any of its two SCSI
connectors, it automatically sets the termination setting for the
low and high bytes of the 16-bit Wide SCSI bus. The low byte
controls 8-bit SCSI; the low and high bytes together control 16-bit
Wide SCSI.
65
We recommend that you leave SCSI set to its default setting of
Automatic. The following table lists the termination configurations.
The following figures show termination examples for the AIC7880.

SCSI Termination Examples
Installing SCSI Devices
You can connect up to 15 devices (seven standard internal and
eight Wide (16-bit) internal SCSI devices, or 15 Wide internal
SCSI devices) to the Ultra Wide SCSI.
Connecting Internal SCSI Devices
If you are connecting internal SCSI devices, make sure you have
an internal SCSI cable with enough connectors to accommodate
all of your devices.
1. Prepare each SCSI device for installation; configure the
device SCSI ID and terminators (terminate the last internal
device attached to the cable).
68
2. Install the SCSI device in your computer. Refer to your
computer and device documentation for instructions.
3. Plug the connector at one end of the internal SCSI cable into
the host adapter’s internal SCSI connector.
Make sure the colored stripe on one side of the cable is aligned
with pin-1 of the host adapter’s connector. Pin-1 of the connector is usually designated by a small triangle “D”, or a “1” on the
connector.
4. Plug the remaining connectors on the cable into the connectors on the back of the devices.
Make sure the colored stripe on the cable is aligned with pin-1 of
the device’s connector.
5. Connect a DC power cable (from your computer’s power
supply) to the power connector on the SCSI device.
Configuring the SCSI Adapter
Access the SCSI BIOS by holding down both CTRL and A keys
when you see the BIOS banner message listing the driver name
and the attached devices. For example:

Basic Host Adapter Settings
The basic host adapter settings are the SCSISelect settings most
likely to require any modification.
n
Host Adapter SCSI ID - This option sets the host adapter’s
SCSI ID. The default setting is SCSI ID 7, which give the
71
n
n
host adapter the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We
recommend that you leave the host adapter set to SCSI ID7.
SCSI Parity Checking - This option determines whether
the host adapter verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the
SCSI bus. The default setting is Enabled. You should
disable SCSI Parity Checking if any SCSI device connected
to the SBC-599 does not support SCSI parity; otherwise,
leave it enabled. Most SCSI devices do support SCSI parity.
If you are not sure whether a device supports SCSI parity,
consult the documentation for the device.
Host Adapter SCSI Termination - This option sets
termination on the host adapter. The default setting for the
on-board SCSI is low ON/High ON. If you want to manually set the termination setting, see SCSI Terminators for
appropriate settings.
Boot Device Settings
The boot device settings allow you to specify the device from
which you wish to boot your computer.
n
n
Boot Target ID - This option specifies the SCSI ID of the
device you wish to boot from. The default setting is SCSI
ID 0. The SCSI ID selected here must correspond to the ID
configured on the boot device.
Boot LUN number - If your boot device has multiple
LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and Multiple LUN Support
is enabled, this option allows you to specify which LUN to
boot from on your boot device. The default setting is LUN
0.
SCSI Device Settings
The SCSI device settings allow you to configure certain parameters for each device on the SCSI bus. To configure a specific
device, you must know the SCSI ID assigned to that device. If
you are not sure of the SCSI ID, see Using the SCSI Disk Utilities.
72
nInitiate Sync Negotiation - This option determines whether the
host adapter initiates synchronous data transfer negotiation
(Sync Negotiation) between the device and host adapter. The
default setting is Yes.
Synchronous negotiation is a SCSI feature that allows the
host adapter and its attached SCSI devices to transfer data
in synchronous mode. Synchronous data transfer is faster
than asynchronous data transfer.
The host adapter always responds to Sync Negotiation if the
SCSI device initiates it. If neither the host adapter nor the
SCSI device initiate Sync Negotiation, data is transferred
asynchronously.
Normally, you should leave the Initiate Sync Negotiation
setting enabled, because most SCSI devices support
synchronous negotiation and it allows for faster data
transfer.
Note:
n
Some older SCSI-1 devices do not support Sync
Negotiation. This may cause your computer to
operate erratically or hang if Initiate Sync Negotiation is set to yes. Set Initiate Sync Negotiation to
No for these devices.
Initiate Wide Negotiation —This option determines
whether the host adapter attempts 16-bit data transfer (Wide
negotiation) instead of 8-bit data transfer. The default
setting is Yes.
Note:
Some 8-bit SCSI devices may have trouble
handling Wide negotiation, which may result in
erratic behavior or a hang condition. For these
devices, set Initiate Wide Negotiation to No.
73
When set to Yes, the host adapter attempts 16-bit transfer.
When set to No, 8-bit data transfer is used unless the SCSI
device itself requests Wide negotiation. The effective
transfer rate is doubled when 16-bit data transfer is sued
because the data path for Wide SCSI is twice the size of
normal 8-bit SCSI. For example, a transfer rate of 10
Mbytes/sec becomes 20Mbytes/sec, and a transfer rate of 20
Mbytes/sec (Ultra SCSI) becomes 40 Mbytes/sec.
74
n
Maximum Sync Transfer Rate – This option sets the
maximum synchronous data transfer rate that the host
adapter supports. The default setting is 20.0 for the Ultra
Wide SCSI. The host adapter supports rate up to the Ultra
SCSI maximum of 20.0 Mbytes/sec (Ultra Wide SCSI
provides an effective maximum synchronous transfer rate of
40.0 Mbytes/sec). If your device is an Ultra SCSI device,
you can use the maximum value of 20.0. If your device is
not an Ultra SCSI device select a transfer rate of 10.0.
If the host adapter is set not to negotiate for synchronous
data transfer (that is, Initiate Sync Negotiation is set to no),
then the maximum synchronous transfer rate is the maximum rate that the host adapter accepts from the device
during negotiation. (This is standard SCSI protocol.).
n
Enable Disconnection – This option determines whether the
host adapter allows the SCSI device to disconnect from the
SCSI bus (sometimes called Disconnect/Reconnect).
Enabling disconnection allows the host adapter to perform
other operations on the SCSI bus while the SCSI device is
temporarily disconnected. The default setting is Yes.
You should leave Enable Disconnection set to yes if two or
more SCSI devices are connected to the host adapter. This
optimizes SCSI bus performance. If only one SCSI device
is connected to the host adapter, set Enable Disconnection
to No to achieve slightly better performance.
n
Send Start Unit Command – This option determines whether
the Start Unit Command is sent to the SCSI devices at boot
up (most devices do not require this). The default setting is
No.
Setting this option to yes reduces the load on your computer’s
power supply by allowing the host adapter to start SCSI devices
one-at-a-time when you boot your computer. When set to No, the
devices are allowed to start at the same time. Most devices
require you to set a jumper before they can respond to this
command.
Note:
If the Send Start Unit Command is set to yes for
many devices, the boot time will vary depending on
how long it takes each drive to start.
Advanced Host Adapter Settings
The advanced host adapter settings should not be changed
unless absolutely necessary.
n
Plug and Play SCAM Support - This option determines
whether the SCSI automatically assigns SCSI Ids to
attached SCSI Devices that support the SCAM protocol.
The default setting is Disabled.
Most non-SCAM devices tolerate SCAM protocol, so you
can enable this option even for non-SCAM devices. In rare
cases, an old SCSI-1 device may not tolerate SCAM and
may cause the computer to hang or operate erratically. If
this happens, disable this option.
n
Host Adapter BIOS – This option enables or disables the
host adapter BIOS. The default setting is Enabled.
Note:
Several SCSISelect options are not valid unless
the host adapter BIOS is enabled.
If you are booting from a SCSI disk drive connected to the
host adapter, the BIOS must be enabled. You should
disable the host adapter BIOS if the peripherals on the SCSI
bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are all controlled by
device drivers and do not need the BIOS.
75
n
Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks —
This option controls which removable-media drives are
supported by the host adapter BIOS. This default setting is
Boot Only. The following choices are available:
Boot Only – Only the removable-media drive designated as
the boot device is treated as a hard disk drive.
All Disks – All removable-media drives supported by the
BIOS are treated as hard disk drives.
Disabled – No removable-media drives are treated as hard
disk drives. In this situation, software drivers are needed
because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS.
Caution: If a removable-media SCSI device is controlled by the
host adapter BIOS, do not remove the media while the drive is on
or you may lose data! If you want to be able to remove media
while the drive is on, install your removable-media device driver
and set this option to Disabled.
n
Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives >1 Gbyte –
This option determines whether extended translation is
available for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1
GByte. The default setting is Enabled.
Caution: If you decide to change the translation scheme, back up
your disk drives first! All data is erased when you change from
one translation scheme to another.
The standard translation scheme for SCSI host adapters provides
a maximum accessible capacity of 1 GByte. To support disk
drives larger than 1 GByte, the Ultra Wide SCSI includes an
extended translation scheme. This scheme supports disk drives
as large as 8 GBytes under MS_DOS with a maximum partition
size of 2 GBytes.
76
Extended BIOS Translation is used only with MS-DOS 5.0 or
above. You do not need to enable this option if you are using
another operating system such as NetWare, OS/s, Windows NT,
or UNIX.
When you partition a disk larger than 1 GByte, use the MS-DOS
disk utility as you normally would. Because the cylinder size
increases to 8 Mbytes under extended translation, the partition
size you choose must be a multiple of 8Mbytes. If you request a
size that is not a multiple of 8MBytes, fdisk rounds up to the
nearest whole multiple of 8MBytes.
n
Display <Ctrl-A> Message during BIOS Initialization –
This option determines whether the Press <Ctrl> <A> for
SCSISelect ™ Utility message appears on your screen
during system boot up. The default setting is Enabled. If
this setting is disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect
utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the host adapter BIOS
banner appears.
n
Multiple LUN Support – This option determines whether
booting from a SCSI device that has multiple LUNs is
supported. The default setting is Disabled. Enable this
option if your boot device has multiple LUNs.
n
Support for Ultra SCSI Speed – This option determines
whether the host adapter supports the fast transfer rates
(13.4, 16,20.0) of Ultra SCSI devices. The default setting is
Disabled.
Using SCSISelect Menus
SCSISelect menus list options you can select. To select an
option, use the- and¯ keys to move the cursor to the option,
then press Enter.
77
In some cases, selecting an option displays another menu. You
can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing Esc. To
restore the original SCSISelect default values, press F6. To
toggle the display between color and monochrome modes, press
F5 (this feature may not work on some kinds of monitors).
Using the SCSI Disk Utilities
To access the SCSI disk utilities, select the SCSI Disk Utilities
option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect.
Once the option is selected, SCSISelect immediately scans the
SCSI bus (to determine the devices installed) and displays a list
of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID.
When you select a specific ID and device, a small menu appears,
displaying the options Format Disk and Verify Disk Media.
n
Format Disk – This utility allows you to perform a lowlevel format on a hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk devices
are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be
formatted again. The Adaptec Format Disk utility is
compatible with the vast majority of SCSI disk drives.
Caution: A low-level format destroys all data on the drive. Be sure
to back up your data before performing this operation. You cannot
abort a low-level format once it is started.
n
78
Verify Disk Media – This utility allows you to scan the
media of a hard disk drive for defects. If the utility finds
bad blocks on the media, it prompts you to reassign them; if
you select yes, those blocks are no longer used. You can
press Esc at any time to abort the utility.
Installing Device Drivers
Some operating systems embed (included) the AIC-7880 Ultra
Wide SCSI device driver as part of their installation software.
These drivers work fine with your AIC-7880 Ultra Wide SCSI;
however, the most recent version of the driver should be installed
in order for your AIC-7880 Ultra Wide SCSI to perform at its
optimum level.
n
n
Adaptec EZ-SCSI – allows you to install software drivers

ADAPTEC EZ-SCSI UTILITY
Adaptec EZSCSI gives you what you need to use your SCSI
devices most effectively with Windows 95 and Windows NT.
You can also use Adaptec EZSCSI on computers running DOS,
Windows 3.1x, or Windows for Workgroups 3.1x.
Quick Start Instructions
First, install SCSI devices (see the hardware documentation for
details). Then follow the instructions for your operating system
software in one of the following sections. We recommend that
after you install Adaptec EZSCSI you run SCSITutor to learn
more about the features of SCSI.
Windows 95 or Windows NT
If you want to install Windows 95 or Windows NT on a new
computer system, you may not be able to access your SCSI
CDROM drive at first. (Usually, you install Windows 95 and
Windows NT from a CDROM disc.) To gain access to your
CDROM drive, follow the DOS Quick Start instructions. Then
reboot your computer and follow these instructions:
1. Install Windows 95 or Windows NT version 3.51 or above,
and start it running on your computer.
2. Insert the Supporting CD-ROM to CD-ROM drive.
3. Click the Start button and select Run.
4. Type CD-ROM drive:\CD ROM\”model name”\driver\scsi
\scsi lite\setup.exe. Then click OK.
5. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Troubleshooting Tips
SCSI Device Troubleshooting
Review this checklist if your newly installed SCSI disk drives,
CDROM drives, and other devices do not seem to work properly:
Be sure that termination is correctly set for all devices on the
SCSI bus, as described in your host adapter documentation.
Be sure there are no hardware conflicts such as devices in your
computer trying to use the same interrupts (IRQs) or DMA
channels.
Be sure the cables connecting the external and internal SCSI
devices and the host adapter are attached securely. Also be sure
the pin-1 orientation is correct for internal cables.
Be sure that each SCSI device connected to the host adapter has
a unique SCSI ID.
Be sure CD-ROM drives and other SCSI devices are attached to a
power source and are turned ON.
Windows 95 / Windows NT Troubleshooting
What is a miniport driver, and how do I make sure that the
miniport driver is installed correctly?
Miniport drivers are new kind of 32bit protect mode device
drivers used by Windows 95 and Windows NT to control host
adapters and other kinds of devices. Windows 95 and Windows
NT include a set of miniport drivers for various types of SCSI
host adapters. The host adapter miniport driver is automatically
installed and configured during Windows 95 and Windows NT
installation if your host adapter is already installed. To make
sure the driver is installed correctly in systems running Windows
95, open the Control Panel, double-click on System, and click the
Device Manager tab. Then double-click the SCSI Controllers
icon; you should see the model name of the SCSI host adapter(s)
installed in your system.
81
What if there is no SCSI controller icon under Device Manager,
or the model name of the SCSI chipset does not appear under
Device Manager:
If the SCSI controllers icon or your host adapter’s model name
do not appear, open Control Panel and double-click the Add New
Hardware icon. Let Windows search for the host adapter by
selecting Yes on the second screen of the Add New Hardware
Wizard.
If Windows does not detect the host adapter, run the Add New
Hardware Wizard again. This time, select No on the second
screen of the wizard, then select SCSI controllers on the next
screen. Select the name of your host adapter when it appears.
If the name of your SCSI chipset does not appear, you may be
able to find its miniport driver o the Windows 95 CD-ROM.
Follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Place the Windows 95 CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive and
run the Add New Hardware wizard.
Select No on the second screen, and select SCSI controllers
on the next screen.
Click on the Have Disk button, then click the browse
button.
Look in the \drivers\storage directory of the CD-ROM and
select the name of your SCSI host adapter if it appears.
What if a yellow exclamation point or a red X appears in
Device Manager in front of my host adapter?
1.
2.
3.
4.
82
Open the Control Panel, double-click on System, and click
the Device Manager tab.
Double-click the SCSI Controllers icon, select the name of
the old host adapter, and click Remove.
Turn OFF the computer and physically remove the currently
installed host adapter.
Install the new host adapter according to the instructions in
the hardware documentation.
5.
Turn the computer ON. If the new host adapter supports
Plug and Play, Windows will install and configure it
automatically. Otherwise, run Add New Hardware to make
sure the new driver is loaded.
If I am running under Windows 95, do I need lines for the
Adaptec real mode ASPI drivers and mscdex in my
config.sys and autoexec.bat files?
Usually, you do not need to use these real mode ASPI drivers,
because the new Windows miniport drivers support most SCSI
host adapters and SCSI devices. However, you need to load the
drivers (including mscdex, if you have a CD-ROM drive) if any
of the following is true:
You are running in MSDOS mode.
You are using a scanner or another SCSI device with
config.sys - or autoexec.bat- based drivers, such as HP’s
sjiix.sys.
You have an older model SCSI-1 CD-ROM drive that
Windows 95 does not support.
You are using a CD-Recorder drive (however, some newer
models of CD-Recorder drives can use the embedded
Windows miniport drivers).
To install the Adaptec EZSCSI DOS drivers, click the Start
button and select Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode. When
the DOS prompt appears, follow the Quick Start instructions for
DOS.
-
My CD-ROM drive doesn’t work properly under Windows 95.
Some older models of SCSI CD-ROM drives are not compatible
with the embedded Windows 95 CD-ROM driver. You can add
support for the CD-ROM drive by doing the following:
1.
2.
Click the Start button and select Restart the computer in
MS-DOS mode.
When the DOS prompt appears, follow the Quick Start
instructions for DOS.
83
3.
When you are finished running Adaptec EZSCSI for DOS,
find the file named cdtsd.vxd in the
windows\system\iosubsys directory and rename it
cdtsd.sav.
My CD-ROM drive shows up as more than one icon under My
Computer.
The mapping between mscdex, which runs in real mode, and the
Windows95 CDROM driver does not match. You can correct
this in one of two ways:
-
84
Comment out the line that loads mscdex.exe in the
autoexec.bat file.
Change the /L switch on the line that loads mscdex.exe in
the autoexec.bat file so it assigns the CD-ROM drive the
next highest logical drive letter after the hard disk drives.
Information for DOS/Windows 3.1x Users
The following information may be useful if you install Adaptec
EZSCSI on a computer running DOS, Windows 3.1x, or Windows
for Workgroups 3.1x.
Note:
The Windows 95/Windows NT Troubleshooting
section describes a few situations when you may
need to use the DOS/Windows 3.1x drivers and
ASPI managers under Windows 95 or Windows
NT.
DOS and Windows 3.1x Device Drivers
Device drivers are software programs that enable your computer to
communicate with SCSI devices such as hard disk drivers, CDROM drives, and scanners. Each kind of device requires a
different device driver. Adaptec EZSCSI includes several DOS/
Windows 3.1x device drivers that are copied to your hard disk
during installation. Adaptec EZSCSI adds command lines to your
config.sys and autoexec.bat files to load these device drivers if it
finds these kinds of devices on your computer.
To learn more about the Adaptec EZSCSI device drivers, including their command line option information, see the online Adaptec
EZSCSI Online Reference, a Windows Help application.
DOS and Windows 3.1x ASPI Managers
ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) managers are
software programs that enable the SCSI device drivers, your host
adapter, and your SCSI devices to communicate with each other.
ASPI managers are written for a specific operating system, such as
DOS, and a specific family of Adaptec host adapters.
85
Adaptec EZSCSI includes several ASPI managers for DOS/
Windows 3.1x. When you install Adaptec EZSCSI on these
operating systems, it detects what kind of host adapter is
installed in your computer and automatically configures your
system with the correct ASPI manager. To learn more about these
ASPI managers, including their command line option information,
see the Adaptec EZSCSI Online Reference, a Windows Help
application.
DOS Formatting Utilities
Adaptec EZSCSI includes several DOS-based formatting utilities;
Low-level Formatter (scsifmt)
Use the DOS-based scsifmt utility for low-level formatting of
SCSI hard disk drives, removable media, Floptical® drives. You
can also use it to scan a disk device for surface defects before
you store data on it.
Run scsifmt from the DOS prompt, not from the Windows
MSDOS prompt. Before you run it, be sure the disk devices you
want to format are connected to the host adapter and that they are
powered. Then follow these steps:
1.
Change to the directory where scsifmt.exe is located
(usually c:\scsi), type scsifmt at the DOS prompt, and press
Enter.
NOTE: If you are formatting a SCSI disk device that supports more than one LUN (for example, Iomega’s Bernoulli
dual multidrive) type scsifmt/L at the command line.
2.
3.
86
When the first screen appears, read it and press Enter to
continue. (Press F1 at any time to view Help). Information
about your SCSI disk devices appears on the screen.
Use the arrow keys to move the highlight bar to a disk
device you want to format or verify, then press Enter.
4.
When the next screen appears, select either Format or Verify
(to verify that the disk is free of surface defects), then press
Enter.
WARNING: Back up important data before you format the disk
device! A low-level format erases all data from the disk.
5.
If you select Format, confirm that you want to format the
disk, then wait while the disk device is formatted. This may
take a long time if the disk is large.
If you select Verify, you can press Esc at any time to stop
the verification process. (This does not damage the disk.) If
the utility finds bad blocks on the disk, it displays information about them. You can reassign the bad block(s) to
prevent data from being stored there.
6.
Repeat steps 3,4, and 5, as needed, to format or verify other
disk devices. When you are finished, press Esc to exit.
Formatter and Partitioner (afdisk)
Use the DOS-based afdisk utility to partition and format SCSI
hard disk drives, Floptical® drives, and magneto-optical dries.
You can also use afdisk to remove DOS and non-DOS partitions
from a disk drive and to format removable media in standard
hard disk format, OS/2 floppy format, or DOS V (Japanese)
format.
NOTE: Use afdisk only if the disk device is not controlled
by the host adapter BIOS – that is, if the host
adapter does not have BIOS or if its BIOS is not
enables. If the disk device is controlled by the
host adapter BIOS, use the DOS fdisk utility to
partition and format the disk device. (See the
MSDOS documentation.).
87
Run afdisk from the DOS prompt only, not from the Windows
MSDOS prompt. Before you run it, be sure the disk devices you
want to format and partition are connected to the host adapter
and that they are powered. Then follow these steps:
1.
2.
-
-
88
Change to the directory where afdisk.exe is located (usually
c:\scsi), type afdisk at the DOS prompt, and press Enter.
Information about your SCSI disk devices appears on the
screen. (The number that appears after Target is the
device’s SCSI ID).
Use the arrow keys to move the highlight bar to the disk
device you want to partition, then press Enter.
If the selected disk device is controlled by the host adapter
BIOS, you can view information about it but you cannot
partition it with afdisk (Use the DOS fdisk and format
utilities.)
If the selected disk device is unpartitioned, you must
partition it before you can format it. To do this, follow the
instructions on the screen. (Press F1 to see an explanation of
the partitioning options.)
Information about the selected disk device appears in the
lower left of the screen. Disks smaller than 1Gbyte have 64
heads, 32 sectors per track, and cylinders equal to the
number of MBytes of available capacity. Disks larger than
1Gbyte have 255 heads, 63 sectors per track, and one
cylinder per 8MBytes of available capacity.
3.
To create a new partition on the disk device, press Ins.
The “Create a DOS Partition” window appears in the lower
right of the screen and suggests that you create one partition
on the disk device, equal to its entire capacity. If this is
what you want to do, skip to step 5.
4.
To change the size of the partition, use the arrow keys to
select Start Cylinder and End Cylinder, and type in the
numbers you want. Partitions up to 2GBytes are supported.
5.
6.
7.
When the number of cylinders is what you want, press Esc.
When the confirmation prompt appears, select Yes and
press Enter to create the partition. To create more partitions
on the same disk device, repeat steps 3,4, and 5. As you
create partitions on the disk., they are added to the window
at the upper right of the screen.
Press Esc to return to the “Select SCSI Device to Partition”
window. If you want to partition a different disk device,
select the device from the list and repeat the earlier steps.
To quit afdisk, press Esc and select Yes to confirm that you
want to quit.

Programming the
Watchdog Timer
The SBC-596/599 is equipped with a
watchdog timer that resets the CPU or
generates an interrupt if processing
comes to a standstill for whatever
reason. This feature ensures system
reliability in industrial standalone, or
unmanned, environments.
Chapter A Programming the Watchdog Timer
90
Programming the Watchdog Timer
In order to program the watchdog timer, you must write a program
which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a
value of time interval. The value range is from 01(hex) to 3F(hex),
and the related time interval is 1 sec. to 63 sec.

After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer
by rewriting the I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting
it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program
should read I/O port 043 (hex).
The following example shows how you might program the
watchdog timer in BASIC:
